A Horsey Type Grin

Have you ever seen a horsey grin
They have a humongous amount of teeth
Their dentist bill must be really atrocious
They're almost beyond belief

Holy crap when they get a toothache
They feel it right down to their hoofs
You can hear them scream way over in China
They just about hit the roof
 
Feel so sorry for these gentle creatures
They're usually such amiable sorts
Even when a 300 pound man rides their back
They're usually really good sports

I've named him “Toothy”, this friend of mine
Tell him to brush those dentures good
The cost of a plate of false teeth for horsies
Is astronomical in all likelihood

A lesson here for all you young people
Do as your mother tells you
Brush those teeth real good every day
So your dentist trips will be few!

Very humerous..just a wee bit of summin summin if you have the same number of syllables per line it's easier to begin to fall into meter, you need to learn to write in meter if you are to grow into other forms [and I KNOW you have talent!] Light & Love

You have a real knack for this kind of poetry. Kind of like Dr. Seuss, but not exactly. I enjoyed this.
